Hahaha!!
U certainly can. U will have to give it a serial number with the Feds.
Unless is was a stripped reciver being built for the first time I wouldn't EFA10 it because if it is already registered in Massachusetts as a rifle it's still a rifle all you did was change the barrel length.
You don't reregister a pistol if you put a longer ported barrel on it do you no so I wouldn't do anything but make it a SBR with the Feds.
Yes but it's really not a pistol it's a short barrel rifle and on the EFA10 it don't ask any where how much the gun weighs or if it has any evil features the state changed the MIRCS system so dealers can't sell shick wave shot guns or SBR because the system only allows 16 inch barrels on a rifle in the system.
And if you do it as a pistol as a dealer the pistol has to be on the approved roster or as a dealer you cant sell it.
I think what he's saying is that it would not be registered. If you already eFA10'd it as a rifle and then chop the barrel on a Form 1, there's no reason why you would eFA10 it again.
If you take a stripped lower and build an SBR on it, then you would have to eFA10 it when capable of firing a round like usual.

what did you register?
10.5" SBR built off an 80% lower.

I have a form 1 pending on an AR9 lower I’ve had.
I’m having a bit of confusion with the eFA10. I know I choose the “Register” option. Do I just leave the “Seller Information” field blank? I’m building the gun so it wasn’t sold to me, only the lower was.
If you already filed an eFA10 on that lower then there's nothing to do. Otherwise I believe you have to select "firearm" or pistol or whatever that option is, since it won't allow you to register a rifle with a barrel length less than 16".
Others here would know better. Also no reason to register it with the state until it's capable of firing a shot.

I’m confused about the form process/engraving, Do I have to own the lower before I fill out the Form 1 and designate it as my lower receiver for the form, then I can grab whatever upper receivers I want? And After the form is successful is this when I should engrave the lower with something designating it as the lower receiver for the build?
Yes, you need to "own" the receiver as the form 1 is serial number specific. You can swap out uppers as often as you change out underwear. It makes no difference. Engraving needs to match the maker of the firearm as designated on the form 1. Engraving should be done by Jack's Machine shop imho. Call and ask for Mike to arrange the work. They are awesome.

Awesome, thank you for the information.

Yeah i don’t know how well this will work considering you’ll (Rocco) will have to mail/deliver the CLEO copy of the form 1 to the Boston police chief.Don't forget Boston has its own ban:

But if it were a fixed magazine lower it would not be considered an assault weapon under the current AWB ordinance, correct? I know I didn’t include that before I just wanted to toss that in there to try and salvage the build idea.
The Boston AWB doesn't mention mags. Just AR15 in general. Give this post in the thread above a read.

I think theres a section later that says “this does not apply to fixed magazine rifles,” but ya the Boston AWB rains on my parade constantly I just wish we could get it nullified but the way 2A matters are going thats pretty unlikely.The Boston AWB doesn't mention mags. Just AR15 in general. Give this post in the thread above a read.
